Rep. Peter King, the New York Republican who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, has demanded the resignation of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice in the wake of the Benghazi attack.
King said on CNN Friday that Rice’s explanation on the talk shows was “such a failure of foreign policy message and leadership” and “such a misstatement of facts” that “I believe she should resign.”
GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney also accused the administration of being dishonest.
“I think it’s pretty clear that they haven’t wanted to level with the American people. We expect candor from the president and transparency,” Romney told Fox News this week. Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence officials sought to explain Friday why the Obama administration’s understanding of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi is “evolving.”
Facing a barrage of Republican criticism about what the administration knew and when about the attack, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement Friday that laid out how officials came to understand the assault that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. At the same time, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations issued a statement explaining her early descriptions of the attack.

And tell her to take Hillary and Barry with her!
The Benghazi murders are far more serious than King relates. Standard operating procedure, throughout history, is for official and unofficial embassy personnel to regularly transmit the best threat assessments to D.C. in a timely manner.
Twenty-four Americans were evacuated from Benghazi after Ambassador Stevens was raped and murdered. Twelve of them were CIA officers or agents; most of them had immediate and direct comms with D.C., also per procedure. Obama has refused to release to Congress those messages or those the Ambassador sent to D.C. before his death. The messages, and testimony, will likely establish Obama’s criminal failure to protect the Ambassador in the face of timely threats and indicators: this is a despicable cover-up of second degree, depraved heart murder.
A similar criminal cover-up was used to hide the murders of hundreds of Mexicans in Fast and Furious. It’s becoming quite clear that most in Congress are not opposing this and have become accessories.
What to do? Practically, those living near D.C. must escalate their physical opposition, and work for the immediate arrest and jailing of Obama and his insurgents who pose the gravest threat to our national security. We escalate, or we capitulate.

Have you noticed Obama’s bunker a-building?
Peter King knows this will have no effect whatever.
